Book Synopsis Machiavelli on Modern Leadership by : Michael A. Ledeen
Download or read book Machiavelli on Modern Leadership written by Michael A. Ledeen and published by Truman Talley Books. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niccolo Machiavelli, one of the eminent minds of the Italian Renaissance, spent much of a long and active lifetime trying to determine and understand what exceptional qualities of human character-- and what surrounding elements of fortune, luck, and timing-- made great men great leaders successful in war and peace. In perhaps the liveliest book on Machiavelli in years, Michael A. Ledeen measures contemporary movers and doers against the timeless standards established by the great Renaissance writer. Titans of statecraft (Margaret Thatcher, Francois Mitterrand, Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton); business and finance (Bill Gates); Wall Street and investing (Warren Buffett); the military (Colin Powell), and sports (Michael Jordan) are judged by Machiavelli's precepts on leadership and the proper use of power. The result is a wide-ranging and scintillating study that illuminates the thoughts of the Renaissance master and the actions of today's truly towering figures as well as the character-challenged pretenders to greatness. Here is an exceptional book on Machiavelli and his ultra-realistic exploration of human nature-- then and now.

This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Machiavelli's "The Prince", this modernisation describes what modern capitalists need to know to be able to get and hold onto corporate power. Following in Machiavelli's steps, this new "chief executive's guide" leads us through all the important skills recommended in acquiring, defending and extending control over your organisation. It deals with many of the subjects which confront the modern executive every day: managing hatred, contempt, and opposition, eliminating your enemies, successful deceit, cruelty, compassion, corporate independence, opportunism, self-reliance, useful management expedients, managing managers and employees, taking and ignoring advice, using influence and the application of brutality. The book seeks to shed some light into the darker corners of the reasoning used by the powerful "corporate princes" of our own generation, in the same way that Machiavelli attempted to enlighten the dark world of power that maintained the ruthless Borgia and Medici families in the 15th century.

Book Synopsis Machiavelli on Management by : Gerald R. Griffin
Download or read book Machiavelli on Management written by Gerald R. Griffin and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1991-03-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Niccolo Machiavelli has been deemed the supreme thinker about survival in the world of politics, but a careful analysis of his writings shows that he was also the ultimate organizational person. He advised the princes of his day to be goal setters, to set reachable objectives, and to let nothing stand in their way in achieving those objectives. In this work, Gerald R. Griffin formulates a contemporary business perspective drawn from Machiavelli's true principles of management, which are as valid and useful today as they were in Machiavelli's time. In so doing, he provides a guidebook for managers and aspiring managers that teaches them about the nature of power and how to use it effectively. Working from the premise that power itself is neutral, and is only made good or bad by the way it is used, Griffin challenges the modern view of participative management as an end in itself. In 26 chapters, he examines a wide variety of management topics and draws upon the wisdom of Machiavelli to provide guidance in using power to deal with these situations. Using pertinent quotations from the philosopher's works, and setting them into a contemporary business context, Griffin directs the reader toward management techniques as recommended by Machiavelli and proved successful over hundreds of years. Among the topics covered are types of organizations; building, maintaining, and losing empires; motivating subordinates; being loved or feared as a manager; and gaining and using a reputation. For each management problem or situation, he thoroughly discusses and focuses on the practical techniques for advancing in any organization. The work also includes a quick reference guide to key Machiavellian ideas as they apply to business and management, as well as a Machiavellian IQ test to measure the reader's Machiavellian tendencies. This book will be an indispensable guide for anyone currently involved or planning to be involved in management, and a useful resource for college courses in business and management. Public and academic libraries will also find it to be a valuable addition to their collections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Lessons from the Renaissance Master of Gaining and Maintaining Power Generally considered the father of modern political science—and political ethics in particular—Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was a Renaissance Italian writer, philosopher, humanist, historian, politician, and diplomat. After his career in politics had ended, Machiavelli wrote a short treatise that is often considered his masterpiece but was not published until five years after his death. The Prince contains adages regarding politics, in particular, providing advice for gaining and maintaining power. While Machiavelli was writing primarily about political power, his philosophies have been adopted by business leaders and titans of industry—presidents, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and innovators—ever since. Also including excerpts from The Art of War, Discourses on Livy, and Machiavelli’s other works, Machiavelli on Business explores such ideas as: Whether it’s better for a leader to be feared or loved How to best keep subordinates content The necessity of breaking promises at times Projecting the right qualities and fostering appearances Turning obstacles into opportunities Taking advantage of crises And much more!
Book Synopsis Machiavellian Intelligence by : Mark Powell
Download or read book Machiavellian Intelligence written by Mark Powell and published by Lid Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best way to secure yourself against being 'let go' in the modern economy is to rise to a level within the corporation where you are making the strategic decisions, not bearing the brunt of their consequences. It may be tough at the top, but it's dangerous in the middle -- and the rewards at the top are far greater. Machiavellian Intelligence argues that many intelligent and hard-working professionals with good leadership skills fail to maximize their career potential because of a number of instinctive 'good' habits - things that make them highly effective executives, well-liked and respected by their colleagues, but which are not best designed to take them to the very top of their chosen career.

Book Synopsis Management and Machiavelli by : Antony Jay
Download or read book Management and Machiavelli written by Antony Jay and published by Prentice Hall Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Jay shows you how the new science of management is a continuation of the old art of government. By looking at your own corporate organization in a political/historical context, you can fully understand its power structure - what Machiavelli wrote about statecraft in the sixteenth century holds true for business and management in the late twentieth century. Applying Machiavellian precepts to such modern corporations as General Motors, Apple Computer, and Microsoft, Jay discovers self-contained states with courtiers and diplomats, orthodoxy and heresy lurking under their smooth corporate veneers. Though humorous, Jay's message is clear. To understand the workings of corporation or states, you must understand the nature and behavior of their leaders. And that hasn't changed since the Middle Ages.

Book Synopsis Leadership Theories and Case Studies by : Garry Wade McGiboney
Download or read book Leadership Theories and Case Studies written by Garry Wade McGiboney and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective leadership does not occur by chance. Leaders must be trained and groomed for the daunting responsibility of leading organizations. Research shows that half of the people currently in leadership positions will fail. Why they fail and what can be done to prevent failure are the main subjects of this book. It shows that effective leadership is possible and illustrates why and how, based on research and case studies from an epidemiological perspective. The epidemiological word “determinant” is used frequently, and is a word that no other book on leadership uses. Epidemiologists work from two basic principles: namely, that all diseases have determinants and that diseases do not occur randomly. In other words, there are always causes for diseases and patterns that describe how diseases spread. Effective and ineffective leadership always have determinants that are not randomly distributed; the impacts are uniformly and deeply spread throughout an organization. Like the epidemiologists, this book not only identifies leadership determinants, but also provides research-based “antidotes” at the end of each chapter, along with a summary of the most salient points in the chapter. This book offers examples of leadership and governance from the non-profit sector, businesses, public and private education, higher education, and other organizations, highlighting over 50 case studies to illustrate concepts about leadership.
